Rookie actress Seo Su Min, who plays So Ji Sub’s daughter in Agent Kim Reactivated, is quickly becoming one of the drama’s rising stars.
Making her television debut in SBS’s Agent Kim Reactivated, which premiered on June 26, Seo Su Min played the role of Kim Min Ji, the only daughter of So Ji Sub’s character. Although it is his first appearance in a theater, he immediately attracted attention with a confident and natural performance.
From her first scenes, Seo Su Min convincingly portrayed the complicated emotions of a high school teenager. It effortlessly expressed Kim Min Ji’s frustration, disappointment, embarrassment and mixed feelings towards her father, Manager Kim (So Ji Sub). Despite being a newcomer, her stable acting earned praise from viewers. It also realistically depicted a student struggling not to give in to Joo Hye Ri’s (Yoo Ji An) bullying while showing subtle excitement and nervousness whenever she interacts with Kim Nam Hoon (Kael), capturing the charm of an ordinary teenager.
Before making her acting debut, Seo Su Min had already introduced herself to the public through social media, reflecting her generation’s digital-savvy style. Last year he launched his channel and uploaded a short clip titled “Taking off my glasses and getting comfortable with the camera.” As of June 29, the 44-second video had surpassed 3.16 million views, attracting considerable attention online.
Its popularity actually started even earlier. In August 2023, Seo Su Min appeared on beauty creator Haemin Sunsaeng’s YouTube channel, where a before-and-after makeup transformation video of her surpassed 2 million views. When she returned to the same channel in May last year, she revealed that several major entertainment agencies had contacted her after the video went viral. He shared that he has since signed with an agency and is focusing on acting lessons.
As Agent Kim Reactivated continues to enjoy strong ratings, internet users have also started revisiting Seo Su Min’s early videos. Many have praised her charm and screen presence, leaving comments like, “I watched the clip and she’s so adorable,” “Her acting is surprisingly solid,” and “She definitely has star potential.”
Seo Su Min currently appears in SBS’s Agent Kim Reactivated, an action-revenge drama that follows an ordinary father who transforms into the most dangerous man to save his only daughter. The series became one of the biggest hits of the year for SBS, reaching 15.7% of viewers nationwide and a peak rating of 18.1% in the second episode.
